The Pioneer Valley Cappella (PVC) is a Northampton-based auditioned ensemble that has been performing unaccompanied choral music for over twenty-five years. We explore a fascinating range of repertoire; from early Renaissance to contemporary, the Americas to Eastern Europe.

We are happy to announce the return of Geoffrey Hudson, who conducted us from 2002 to 2007. An internationally-respected composer, Geoff brings his understanding and love of music both to rehearsals and to programs. For more about Geoff, visit http://www.hybridvigormusic.org.

Our concerts take place twice yearly. Our next is entitled "Of Song and Light," and will take place at 7:00 PM Friday, April 27 at Welsey United Church in Hadley, and at 7:00 PM Sunday, April 29 at St. John's Northampton. We will be joined by chamber orchestra to perform a program featuring two radiant Baroque masterpieces - the Durante Magnificat and Handel's Chandos Anthem #8, "O come, let us sing unto the Lord." Playful and dancing, with fugues like laughter set to music, this music is perfect for a spring evening. For more information, visit our concerts page.
